Mario Lavandeira's oasis of gossip has always lagged behind competitors on the big scoops, but in the past year it has skewed too foul and vulgar even for the celebrity-obsessed set. The recent flap over a tweeted Miley Cyrus photo, which many believed depicted an exposed 17-year-old stepping out of her car — in fact, it didn't — was the icing on the cake. Lavandeira, who proudly boasted about the stunt and said he'd post the Cyrus photo again in a second, has made it clear time and again that he considers all publicity to be good publicity — and takes pride in being the pundit who pushes the envelope and sparks the scandal. Clearly there's a huge online market for celebrity takedowns — within reason. But Perez Hilton crossed that threshold a long, long time ago.
